More stress and more heat for battery to charge.

    Galaxy Note 5

    Samsung

    Price: $250 (32GB) or $350 (64GB) as part of a two-year contract from Sprint or AT&T; otherwise, available from all major carriers for $700 to $840, either upfront or via a multiyear payment plan

    Cons: Large form can be awkward to use and uncomfortable to carry; user interface less polished and attractive than Google's core Android OS; apps and Web pages frequently refresh after brief periods of inactivity; lacks removable battery and SD card slot present on previous models; awkward hybrid button configuration; expensive compared to other similar devices

This expensive phone was supposed to can with waterproof to save people money against water damage or something similar. Motorola Moto G3 cost 4 times cheaper and does waterproof. That something you can say well done Motorola. But no this Note 5 which is overpriced without security.

      No Samsung even removed some advantage like SD slot, highest CPU than Galaxy S series, higher ppi, much bigger battery but you still praise such a product?

      People think twice before buying that device.

              S . SUDHAKAR, 28 Aug 2015Good decision. Buy note 4 itself.U r right dude, note 4 is well balance 4 an average smartphone user.

                Amazing productive tool. Too bad the Note.5 isn't as a powerhouse in features and versatility like previous Galaxy Notes.

                Currently only 32GB is available, and no promise of a 64GB version. Most likely will never come out for local market.

                            I'm a Note user since Note 1. Now I'm waiting for Note 5 to replace my Note 4. I'm an Architect and I have not much problem for removable or expandable phone capacity. What I'm looking for is the speed and capability of camera and the ability of Stylus for sketching and handwriting. Note 5 is an Architect's smartphone.

                                        I understand that the issue with the external card slot & internal memory is not abt the compitibilty but its done on purpose to avoid the use of cheap micro sd slots that results in lags but this does not mean that there is no high speed cards out there its just that a huge chunk of normal users wud prefer to buy a cheap card (hyped as cheap expansion) and then blaming the phone only abt the lags.
                                        But this is something mainly depends on who u ask? A huge (media)files consumer that is reday to compromise on few secs of speed or some one is not ready to give on the speed but there r ppl execting both.lol
                                        Google is also well aware of this issue i.e none of the Nexus has ever seen any card slots.they mainly think abt the smooth user experince and optimizations more than anything else.
                                        I recently used the s6 and was amazed how fast the camera works.i hope to see the same thing in the all new note5 and s6 edge+
